nRFGo Studio port to MacOSX and Linux

[Bernard P]

Hi,

Using the nRFGo Studio software, I noticed this is actually running using the Qt framework that makes porting application between Windows, MacOSX and Linux really easy. As frameworks like AVR or MSP are being better supported on platforms other than windows, it would be wonderful to have a software such as nRFGo studio work on those platforms as well.

So, is there any plans going for distributing the software on other platforms? If not, would you consider doing so?

I would so much love add make the .xml translation into the .h in my project's Makefile, without having to go do it in my windows virtual machine.

Hi

Unfortunately this is not on the roadmap as of today.

We have had this on the 'nice to have' list for a while, and one of the reasons for picking Qt in the first place was the multi platform support, but we haven't yet had the resources to implement it across the platforms.

Best regards Torbjørn

Actually, that was one of the first thoughts I had when I started in Nordic, so I tried, but unfortunately it isn't that simple. nRFgo Studio also has some hardware parts to talk to the nRFgo motherboard and to the J-Link programmers used for the nRF51 series, and those parts break. It is therefore unfortunately not likely that this will happen any time soon.
